Watch a film clip from Katapult

For two evenings, dancers from GöteborgsOperans Danskompani show off some different sides of creative talents. Come and meet them and the way they interpret
the theme of this dance season – Mind & Spirit – in photo exhibitions, films, installations and, of course, dance. To challenge and develop their creativity, dancers at times work with art-forms other than dance. This time, the audience gets the chance to see Katapult, which is also to be part of the Gothenburg Dance & Theatre Festival.
